What I really want is some toast!
We are now into the second stage of the Atkins diet thank heavens. Now we can have five whole extra grams of carbs every day this week and ten next week. Wow! Continue reading
Bunged up
Mac and I are both a bit bunged up and I don’t mean in the nasal department. It seems all the protein and not much fibre is having a rather unfortunate effect. I’m not sure what we can do about it really because we can’t have fruit, nice granary bread or muesli to get things moving. I think I may have to get some laxatives from the chemist and share them with Mac. He’s insufferable. He keeps clutching his stomach groaning and whining. If he won’t take them I may have to force feed then to him. All I can say is it’s a good job gay men don’t have babies. If Mac was pregnant it would be a major drama every second and labour doesn’t even bear thinking about. Continue reading
Why can’t chocolate be protein?
I’m officially no longer obese! YAY! I now weight twelve stone two, I lost three pounds this week. Much as I am beginning to loathe this bloody diet, with all the meat and eggs and cheese but no bread or potatoes or fruit, I have to say its working.
Actually by the river!
I did my Race For Life training this morning. I got up bright and early, got my jogging bottoms on and my new trainers and set off with my iPod in my ear, a bottle of water in one hand and my iPhone with the Walkmeter in the other. I missed training last weekend because I felt so tired but I do feel a bit better this week. I can’t keep putting it off and making excuses. Today I was determined to do more than just the two miles, no matter what. Continue reading
Hmm, driving lessons?
Week two of the Atkins diet and today I was working in the Gosport office for the whole day. I took all my meaty supplies with me though, two cold sausages, some squares of cheddar cheese and a little bag of mini baby bel. Goodness me it seemed like a long day after just working mornings for so long. It was pretty strange being in an office with loads of other people too (OK, not exactly loads, there were all of five of us but I’ve got used to just me and Mac), really noisy and distracting. I just got my head down and got on with the job in hand because it all seemed to be office politics and bitching from where I was sitting. I almost didn’t want to leave to go to the loo because I was sure they’d start on me if I did. Honestly, as soon as someone went out the door everyone else started having a pop about them.

A steak dinner, but TGI would have been nicer
Commando wanted to go into town for a spot of retail therapy this morning but I was too tired. I didn’t sleep very well last night which is so unlike me. I am well known for being able to sleep anywhere and through more or less anything. Commando says I could probably sleep standing up in the middle of a football crowd. He was a bit sulky when I didn’t want to go shopping and even offered to take me out to lunch to try and tempt me. I couldn’t see the point, it’s hard enough trying to find something to eat at home there’s no way I’d manage no carbs at a restaurant. Suddenly this doesn’t seem such a good plan after all.

Missing my pain au chocolat
I wish this headache would go. I took some headache pills but it still feels all tender. Continue reading
Who’d have thought you could crave salad?
After the failed bacon experiment, it was back to scrambled eggs again for breakfast this morning. Back to missing my muesli. I really need to find something better for breakfast but it’s quite difficult when you can’t have carbs. All the best breakfasts are pure carb, toast, cereal, croissants, pain au chocolat mmm, chocolate, that’s another thing I miss. If only you could get sugar free chocolate I could probably have it. You’d think someone would have thought of that and made it by now really. Continue reading
Atkins breakfast number two
Day two of the great Atkins experiment and all is well. Breakfast this morning was a poached egg and bacon, mmmm, tasty. I really enjoyed it and didn’t miss my muesli at all. Sadly, it will be a one off though because Commando complained that the smell of cooking bacon woke him up. A boy needs his sleep, especially one that works nights, so I have to consign that one to the nice but never again pile. Pity because it was SO yummy. Continue reading
